Open A Clinic To Cultivate Myself Chapter 130

After swallowing the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir, Yin Molan stood still, as if what he was eating was not an Ancestor-seeking Elixir, but a time-stationary pill that made his whole body motionless.

“Senior Yin?” Ning Tao called tentatively.

Yin Molan was still silent.

“What's the matter with him?” asked Qing Zhui, looking surprised and confused.

Ning Tao shook his head. He didn't know what was wrong.

Qing Zhui pondered for a moment and mused, “Does he find his ancestor and is talking to his ancestor through his divine sense?”

As she finished speaking, Yin Molan suddenly fell flat on his back.

Ning Tao was startled, and cried, “He isn't really poisoned, is he?”

Beep beep, beep beep…

A crackling noise like stir-frying beans burst out of Yin Molan's body. There was odor and light oozing from his mouth and nose, and they were the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir's elixir odor and misty green elixir light. He seemed to have become a “man of elixir”!

Two or three seconds later, Yin Molan suddenly opened his eyes, which were deadly green and looked pretty scary. Then he stood up, and the crackling noise that erupted from his body grew louder. In the midst of that eerie noise, his leather jacket and pants split open, revealing horrible muscles. What was more, the blood vessels running under the skin were all green!

“Ah!” Yin Molan opened his mouth and roared, hitting his chest with both fists, sounding as loud as beating drum.

Qing Zhui stood in front of Ning Tao, her nails flashing green. She threw her neck up at Yin Molan and hissed.

Yin Molan swerved into a tree. With a crack, the tree with the diameter as long as a blow's rim broke off and crashed to the ground!

Yin Molan then hit a rock wall with the momentum and speed like a cannon shot from the barrel!

Boom!

The whole rock wall shook and Yin Molan's head plunged into the hard rock, his body still straight in the air. A web of cracks spread from his neck to the entire wall.

Ning Tao and Qing Zhui were both dumbfounded.

“Does he get…crazy?” Qing Zhui suddenly muttered.

Ning Tao came to his senses and uttered, “I don't know.”

“You refined the elixir, and you don't know?” Qing Zhui looked at Ning Tao with strange eyes.

Ning Tao threw up his hand and said, “I don't know what elixir I made. Without any clinical trial, he put it in his mouth and swallowed it. Blame me?”

Qing Zhui turned her eyes to Yin Molan, who was still stuck in the rock wall, and suddenly felt sorry for him.

Just then Yin Molan suddenly raised his hands, put them on the wall and pushed hard. With a dull thud, the wall broke and his body fell to the ground with the broken stones. Thick dust and stones billowed. Qing Zhui and Ning Tao didn't know if he was buried or what.

“I'll go over and look at him,” Qing Zhui said, intending to walk to Yin Molan.

Ning Tao grabbed her wrist and said, “Don't go there. We don't know what is going on. If you approach him abruptly, you could be attacked.”

“Then I'll watch from here.” Qing Zhui stopped and stood shoulder to shoulder with Ning Tao.

In the thick dust, Yin Molan suddenly got up and walked over to Ning Tao and Qing Zhui. His eyes were no longer frighteningly green, and the horrible muscles that broke his leather jacket and pants were back to normal. Just now he was like an angry violent ape, and now he was like a motorcyclist who suffered a car accident.

“Senior Yin, are you all right?” Ning Tao asked tentatively.

Qing Zhui eyed Yin Molan warily.

Yin Molan didn't say a word. Then he stopped and looked at Ning Tao and Qing Zhui, still remaining quiet.

“Senior Yin, are you all right?” Ning Tao asked again.

This time Yin Molan replied, “I'm fine. The Ancestor-seeking Elixir you refined has a strong elixir power. I feel my demon power increase. I was just releasing some of the surging demon power, because it made me so full that I felt terrible.”

“Do you mean it has increased you demon power?” Ning Tao asked in surprise.

Yin Molan replied, “As soon as I ate it, the elixir power was strong. Now that I've let it out, I feel much better. My demon power has returned to normal, but I feel much purer than before. Your Ancestor-seeking Elixir has benefited me immensely. Thanks a lot!”

Yin Molan cupped his hands to Ning Tao to express his appreciation and lowered his head slightly.

“You're welcome, Senior Yin. Now you've eaten the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, do you have any information in your DNA awakened?” Ning Tao asked.

Yin Molan thought for a moment before replying, “Maybe a little bit, but I can't tell you what it feel like. Maybe not, I'm not sure. The Ancestor-seeking Elixir you refined is more like a Demon-quenching Elixir that has cleared my marrow and renewed your muscles. This will be of great benefit to my future cultivation.”

Ning Tao remembered the small Nirvana Elixir that was mixed in his tea by Chen Pingdao. The Nirvana Elixir could also clear marrow and renew muscles, but the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir refined by him apparently more potent than the little Nirvana Elixir that Chen Pingdao gave him. As a fighting demon who had lived for hundreds of years, Yin Molan himself had already experienced many times of marrow clearing and muscles renewing. Yet his incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir still worked for Yin Molan, which was enough to show how strong its elixir power was!

“Senior Yin, did you see any visions? Like people or things from the past?” Ning Tao asked.

Yin Molan shook his head and replied, “No, why are you asking?”

Ning Tao said, “Nothing. You're the first one to take this elixir. I want to know about it clearly, so that I can improve it the next time I refine it.” In fact, he was secretly thinking, “He ate the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir, but he didn't see any illusion. I just took the medicine and smell it, and I see a man and things in the past. Is it because I am a natural go-between of good and evil? I have a special const.i.tution, so it has a different effect on me, like drug allergy?”

With respect to drug allergy, some people were injected with penicillin and nothing happened. But some people could be allergic to penicillin after injection, such as having a swelling or short of breath.

If the difference was because of drug allergy, then Ning Tao, a natural go-between of good and evil, was most likely to be allergic to the incomplete Ancestor-seeking Elixir.

Yin Molan, not knowing what happened to Ning Tao, exclaimed excitedly, “Buddy, your Ancestor-seeking Elixir gives me confidence again. I must try every means to find the complete elixir prescription of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, I believe you will be able to refine a complete Ancestor-seeking Elixir. By then we can solve the mystery that has plagued the cultivation world of thousands of years!”

With a flash of insight, Ning Tao said, “Senior Yin, it might be rude, but I have to ask you a question. The piece of… I mean, where did you found Zhu Hongyu's skull?”

Yin Molan looked Ning Tao in the eye and asked back, “Why do you ask?”

Ning Tao replied, “I a.s.sume you've spent hundreds of years looking for the complete elixir prescription, right? You must have no harvest, or you won't only have an incomplete elixir prescription. Tell me, then we'll find it together. Me, Qing Zhui and you, the three of us. As the saying goes, two heads are better than one. If you believe us, give me some clues, and perhaps we can find the complete elixir prescription.”

Yin Molan hesitated.

Ning Tao said, “If you don't want to tell us, forget it.”

Qing Zhui interjected, “Brother Ning has refined the elixir for you, but you don't even trust him. How can we work together in the future?”

Ning Tao was polite, but Qing Zhui had no consideration for his feelings.

Yin Molan said, “Well, I'll tell you.”

“No one's pushing you,” Qing Zhui blurted out. “It is of your own accord.”

Yin Molan ignored her. He gathered his thoughts and began, “Miss Zhu's mother was a fox demon. Her real name was Hu Ji. I don't know where she found the elixir prescription of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir. She wrote it on Hongyu's skull with demon power and Buddha incense. Buddha incense is a kind of spiritual material of spice. It's extremely rare, and can penetrate human flesh and bone. There is a saying that if a person uses the Buddha incense once in his life, he would be fragrant all his life. But it takes body heat to get that fragrance out, so you can't smell it from that skull.”

In Ning Tao's mind, the piece of Hongyu's skull and the green handwriting written on it emerged. He was filled with wonder.

Yin Molan went on, “Hongyu's mother wrote the words upside down on Hongyu's skull, and when the Buddha incense penetrated, it became straight. Hongyu didn't know this. As she grew up, she became half human and half demon. In particular, he achieved a high level of achievement in martial arts, and even I am no match for her. Her mother left her when she was a child, and later she found some clues and went to Western Province to look for her mother. As a result, she was attacked and died under a snow mountain.”

“Which snow mountain is it?” Ning Tao asked.

“Everest.” After a pause, Yin Molan added, “All I found was her skull and her brain. The man who ambushed her may have taken her skull as a trophy, or may have known that the elixir prescription of the Ancestor-seeking Elixir was on her skull. In fact, it was then that I found the elixir prescription. I brought back her skull and brain. I've been looking for the killer all these years, but there's no clue. I have also been trying to refine the Ancestor-seeking Elixir, but never succeeded.”

This was the story of Zhu Hongyu, which was completely different from the story in unofficial history.

Ning Tao said, “When I get a chance, I'll definitely visit the place where she died. Maybe I can help you find the killer.”

Yin Molan gave a sigh. “I've been there more than 10 times and I haven't found anything. It's been hundreds of years, and G.o.d knows if the killer is still alive. But if we can find the killer, maybe we can also find the whole elixir prescription.”

Ning Tao said, “Next time you take me there, I'll try to look for the clue.”

“Okay, I'll take care of your business first. Let me know when you want to go.” Yin Molan cupped his hands and bowed to Ning Tao and Qing Zhui before he jumped into the woods and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

“Is what he said true, Brother Ning?” Qing Zhui inquired.

Ning Tao answered, “I don't know.”

“What are we doing now?”

“Go to the Sword Pavilion Cave, and refine elixir,” said Ning Tao.

“I want to go there too. Refine one for me.” Qing Zhui looked at Ning Tao excitedly.

Ning Tao smiled and said, “Come along if you're not afraid to come into the clinic.”

Qing Zhui suddenly put her hand around Ning Tao's arm, smiling brightly. “Then I will not be afraid. I'm your follower. I'll follow you wherever you go.”

Ning Tao really wanted to take his words back.
